Hey there!:

Here , we choose the 10 marbles from the box of 40 marbles without replacement

Therefore , probability is changes for every time

Also , the trials are dependent

Therefore ,the assumptions of binomial distributions are not satisfied

Therefore , Not binomial : the trials are not independent

Hope this helps!
